This cake is a true five star!! I took it to a party last summer and it was gone before the meal was served!! I'm taking it to a Cinco de Mayo party this year!!
I didn't make any changed but got the sauce at a local Mexican Grocery store.

This is a fantastic recipe. I was worried about how it would come out in layers, but it did! I'm making it again for a party tomorrow night that has a Mexican theme! I'm sure it'll be a hit!

This is probably my favorite cake now. It's so easy, but looks and tastes like it took a lot of work and time. For a pretty presentation, I use my zester and add long strips of orange peel to the top after it's been turned out onto the serving platter. It's the best of two worlds - cake & flan!

After making this cake, I'm surprised that this recipe doesn't have more reviews! We love the complexity of flavors and textures. The flan is smooth and creamy with a touch of orange. The cake is moist and has a hint of lime. I used Cajeta caramel topping because it is very rich and has a distinct flavor. (Tastes like Dulce De Leche.) The cake is even better on the second day after being refrigerated overnight. Definitely a five star recipe!

I found a recipe similar to this one in the Dallas Morning News back in May of 2004. The only difference was the addition of 1 cup of coconut to the cake batter.
I make this cake often, because it is not only delicious, but also very impressive looking. It usually does not last long. It is also very simple to prepare. Enjoy!!

The flavor combinations on this cake are wonderful. The only problem I had was that I used canned caramel sauce which must have been too old because it was too thick to spread on the bottom of the pan. Thanks Cookiedog!

First off, I think this is one of the most beautiful cakes that I have ever made! I love the subtle taste of the orange and lime zest in this recipe. Also, the cake itself is very moist--just how I like a cake to be. It's neat how the flan part rises up over the cake batter to make the topping. This is a very unique cake and I am glad I made it. Thanks so much, cookiedog!
